Be it lznownthat I-,IWILLr/ars. H. Dowsri, a citizen of the United States, residing atj Y Newtonyin the county of Middlesex and Com 5 monwealth of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fasteners, of which theQfollowing isA a full specification.

My invention relates to that class of sepa` 1/5 rable fasteners wherein either the socket or female member or the stud Aor male member fis resilient.

The female member of 2o a-separable fastener has hithertobeen shown with the cap or cover of the female part as entirelyindependent of the article to which These caps or tops have been made of material with various and elaborate. designs, and finishes of various kinds'have Tops have been made in the factory inwhich the fasteners are made, with leather,cellloid,silk,or other material, and'in various classes of trade a 3o great deal of care is demandedto., have the top correspond in finish and shade with the article to which it is to be attached. In my improved female member l amable to utilize. the article itself to whichl thetop is to be attached in forming the cover of the top or cap, and thus get 'the shade or top in harmony. with the article upon which it is to be used.
